HELP! Someone changed my AIM password!

I had the new password sent to me via email. It was changed to 331d143d.

So I've changed it to something else.

I use gaim. I doubt it was a brute force hack (I spent 5 minites writing a good, 16 digit password of random letters and numbers that flowed well so that I could type it out fast.

I used Bitcomet and lately azureus...and have been leaving my computer on all the time to help seed stuff.

I just recently started having the gmail login for firefox have me autologin. I guess I should take this off (and while I'm at it, move back to linux!)

I've got ports 50000-52000 and 7299 or 7922 fowarded on my router (Public and private I believe for both tcp and udp) for Bittorrent. Could this be it?

Any help would be great so that this doesn't happen again! I've got Antispyware beta and adaware.
 
OK I looked in my router log and I've got 2 IP addresses that pinged me in the last 3 days. It said it was a "Ping of Death Detect" So they were looking at my router. They started with the 6881 port for bittorrent...so it must have been someone I was sharing with. I've turned on Discard ping from WAN side, so I can't get pinged anymore. Will this keep them from getting my new password/hacking into me again?

Crap in changing some stuff on my router I lost the other guy's IP address. At least I still have "219.74.18.225:33164" in my clipboard. Anyone here mind doing something to his computer?
